DEMERARA.
From the ArgOSyJ.

The rapid development of the gOld-dig-
gings of tho colony is promising ito give it
q real claim to it's hitherto supposed fanci-
fnl title of Ell Dorado. 1t will delight Oh
readers to hear that a nugget OF pure ore
weighing FIVE lbs. was brought to town
this week.-Mrs. being as yet the largest
plum that has been found. As the digging
so called has hitherto been carried on wlth-
in the alluvial belt on the banks OF the
rivers, chiefly the Puruni, the discovery OF
a nugget Of the size mentioned is decidedly
noticeable, and highly suggestive OF what
may vet be unearthed. Small nuggets OF
an ounce or two in weight have been turned
up from time to time; but the great bulk
of the metal that has rewarded the search.
ers has been found in minute particles in
the waShings of the river mud. The finders
of the boss nugget are trying to keep its
discovery a secret, for reasons selfish
enough; but the news of the discovery has
got abroad and we can assure our leaders
it is exactly as we have stated. Already
there is a considerable population IN the
Puruni district; but in a very short time
we may expect to see it one of the most
populous in the colony.

nqat little speech presented Ar. Schatuer
with fine gold headed cane, gift OF st. Jo-
seph's band. Mr Schotuer replied very
happily, es did also Mrs. Schatuer. Mr. d.
j. Tangney next took the floor, and after
few most appropriate remarks placed in his
hand an elegant cameo ring. At the con-
clusion Of this all were invited to partale OF
